Worth every penny, and then some.

Oh absolutely, he’s one of the best pure defensive dmen in the league right now

Totally. I think everyone knows how I feel about Manson at this point LOL. People refer to Staal or Girardi-types as "defensive d-men" and couldn't be further off. Those guys just suck. More often than not, I'd wager people refer to players as "defensive d-men" mostly because they remember them playing in their own zone.

Josh Manson IS a defensive d-man.

It goes back to that old quote from Tippett or Lombardi or whoever where they said something along the lines of you see this guy make so many defensive plays, but that’s always because he’s playing without the puck vs the guy who’s meh defensively, but always has the puck. Staal can still be a decent 1v1 defender, but the dude’s puck skills and passing always leave him playing defense. Same with G

Can't teach reach, and Staal does have that. That's basically all he has, though.

Is there something funny going on trying to view live games on corsica, or is just my computer?

Just you. Try reloading.

What a game from Varlamov if the Rangers don't find a way to tie this, he's +3 GSAA. Hank +1 and gonna lose

 

[silverfish]

Game 1:

81 more like that, and we're going to the playoffs comfortably.

Jumped the gun on the script and didn't catch the ENG. Doesn't matter.

 

[Ori]

We`ve 0 pts. @silverfish - can`t finish plays.

 

[Mac n Gs]

Those new game charts are beautiful. Well done, Manny. New Corsica is phenomenal

Yeah but what was Shattenkirk's +/-?

 

[silverfish]

Yeah but what was Shattenkirk's +/-?

Was lurking the GDT. Brutal. Nothing like good old fashioned hot takes after 1/82nd of the season, not to mention a game that the Rangers essentially dominated [all situations]. Tip your hat to Varlamov, and move on.

 

[Irishguy42]

Varlamov was just insane.

I would take those Rangers for 82+ games a year, for the most part.

Inject it into my veins.

 

[1Knee1T]

Popped in the GDT last night for a few pages. Yikes. You'd think the Rangers got smoked. Happy to see the narrative is different in here.

I thought the PP looked great. Lots of movement away from the puck and with the puck. Buch was great in particular with this running the half wall. Interested to see how the Rangers do once teams start adjusting.

 

[Ori]

Yes S. Varlamov was amazing last night.

 

[Off Sides]

While I mostly agree with those charts, and that Varlamov was very good, here are Shattenkirks own words from his recent players tribute

We dominated a lot of those games, but the Penguins were so opportunistic. What can you say? They played like Stanley Cup champions. They got it done.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Nasher had good insight in the post game. The 3rd man high on the back check cost us lastnight.

Buch on Barries goal and whoevers man that was on the trailer on the Duchene goal. Still a sick pass by Yokupov who looked good.

 

[Mac n Gs]

Love nothing more than using +/- when factoring in empty nets. People love scoring chances, but xG is heresy. Good thing basketball and soccer use the same damn thing.

Yeah Nash should talk about backchecking lol

 

[Holocene]

I thought we played very well last night too. Glad to see the numbers reflect that. Varlamov stole that game.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

AAAAaaaand....Hedman-Girardi is a thing.

Hehe

I feel bad for Hedman but at the same time I’m glad G is someone else’s problem

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Cooper and Vigneualt at the Hockey Analytics convention

 

[Machinehead]

Like look-in at the +/- convention
